The Beaver Creek fire in the Sun Valley/Ketchum area is now 30 percent contained, a sign of major progress on that huge, erratic blaze; there’s a full update here. More than 1,700 firefighters are still working on it. Meanwhile, the tiny town of Atlanta is under a mandatory evacuation order as the Little Queens fire, now 9,500 acres, burns toward it with no containment. The fire has reached China Basin and is now three miles northwest of Atlanta; 150 firefighters are battling it and structure protection measures are in place.

The Elk Complex fire is now 85 percent contained; and the North Fork Fire 20 miles southeast of Cascade is 50 percent contained at 327 acres.

The Highland Fire, which broke out yesterday and burned 600 acres just east of Boise near Lucky Peak Dam, is in the mop-up stage and has an estimated containment of 9 tonight; six structures have burned. The fire caused a power outage that hit the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, where actors performed the first act of Richard III with no power, lights or amplification last night in a gripping performance, before calling it a night due to increasing darkness.
